hey you want to trade or collaborate?
all the best Jon

Hey Jesse, I just checking online for people i went to school with who were artists, and your name came to mind. We went to Northley middle school together, and were kinda cool. I lived in Brookhaven, and we were in a few art and comic book classes together. I love the stuff on your page here, and I still get a kick out that character you had back then…Porkus the Mystic pig if i remember right. good luck man!
Sometimes, I read your stories when I can’t sleep at night. One time, I dreamed a lucid dream, and you were talking about that time-travel device thingy from The Backwards Folding Mirror, and I told you that I thought it would totally work in a dream. You agreed.
It warms my heart to know you’re reading my comics Steveo.
hello jesse
do you ship your books abroad?
if you do, how much is it? (for the shipping)
thanks in advance!
Yes. International shipping is $5. But I don’t have copies of Follow Me. You have to order that through Bodega. There’s a paypal link to it here. Thanks!

Yo Jesse, I worked with your Dad at CHOP, I think we met at the reading terminal market several years ago. Anyway, nice stuff dude…..Bill
Only just read your bit in Meathaus S.O.S and it is amazing and really made me laugh. Just thought you should know that you’re now one of my top 5 favourite comic artists ever.
This site rules aswell
oh yeah, how do you scan watercolours and keep them looking nice?
Well, I have a crappy HP scanner that I bought from Staples for $70. There’s some auto function on the scanner that makes the colors come out better. I think you can do the same type of thing in Photoshop. It’s called automate colors or something? Maybe?
I found a copy of follow me lying around The Marvelous… amazing… I need a copy of this! Cant wait to read more.
well first id like to say hi from puerto rico. I found the link to your website on the dr. dog website. I was cheking it cause I’m a huge fan and I wanted to know if they had come out with their new album…
I like your work allot. I draw too and have lots of frinds who like to draw too. sounds funny but it’s true. I think they will like your stuff too.
I’m broke and my room recently burned to the ground, taking with it allot of my art work but I think I might just order something…. ooh and my anti-spam word is sausage
Hey Jesse, just wanted to let you know that I like your work.
Recommendation for ya…
Have you ever read any Eamon Espey (”Wormdye”)? I think you would enjoy his stuff.
Yeah Eamon’s stuff is super rich! I made his acquaintance at an SPX several years ago.
It really is, that’s a pretty dead-on way to describe it. And, as for meeting him, you are one lucky fish.
Good job on the new cartoon, very subliminal,
what kind of a genoration do you belief you will
help create with this progaming?

Following my own investigation, millions of people in the world receive the lowest-rate-loans.com from good creditors. Thus, there is great possibilities to find a college loan in all countries.
Have you ever read the Urantia Book? Your work - especially Forming - reminds me of it.
No I haven’t read it. I feel like I’ve heard the title before but no. I’ll check it out.
Nice site! Inspiring! I dig the merkaba.

Hey Jesse - I can’t recall how I stumbled across your corner of the interwebs but I can say I have since become addicted to Forming and have easily convinced others of its genius since also.
Quick questions; is Forming available to buy as a book yet? And I’d like to get Follow Me but am unsure if you ship to the UK(?)
Keep up the greatness!
I think I have a new internet crush, on awesome musicians/comic artists…
can’t wait for more more more Forming.
